SRK’s next release, Dunki, postponed?

According to the timeline, Dunki will be ready in time to be released for Christmas in 2023. There’s a twist, though!

Are there any real practical grounds for Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki, Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film, to proceed?

Don’t misunderstand them. The shooting of Dunki is proceeding according to plan, and it will be completed in time for a Christmas 2023 release.

The Dunki crew, however, is undecided as to whether it would be a good idea to cast a third Shah Rukh Khan in the same year.

A very close friend of SRK reveals, “I believe they are looking at the possibility of moving Dunki to early next year. This year SRK’s Pathaan and Jawan are record-breaking blockbusters. A third film makes no sense. Better to wait a few months, give SRK fans some pause to absorb the twin successes. Let’s not forget Pathaan and Jawan still have a long way to go. While Pathaan has started streaming on Prime Video, Jawan will begin streaming not before November. This means the SRK fever will be prevalent right till the end of the year. Dunki will only be more of the same. Besides, SRK will have no release next year if Dunki too is released this year.”

Although the ultimate decision on whether Dunki will go to 2024 has not been made, there is a very good chance that it will.
